Yes, you can teach at a college with just a bachelor's degree, but typically only as an adjunct instructor or in certain specialized fields. Most full-time faculty positions at colleges and universities require a master's or doctoral degree.
Personally I would not back up into another associates degree. Move on to the bachelor's degree. The college or university you enroll in will evaluate your transcript and apply all usable credits toward your degree in teaching. Then, just go from there.
In most cases, you need at least a master's degree to teach at a college. Some community colleges may accept instructors with a bachelor's degree, but a higher degree is typically required for universities.
Typically, there are four levels of college degrees (to include nursing).

Yes, in some cases, individuals with a bachelor's degree can teach at the college level as adjunct professors or instructors, but a higher degree such as a master's or a Ph.D. is typically required for full-time faculty positions.
To teach in a public school within the United States, a bachelors degree is required with state certification. This typically takes four years beyond high school completion provided the student is full-time and takes the degree as prescribed bu the college or university. There are some alternative routes, however, if you are a recent high school graduate or someone with no college coursework at this time, the bachelors with teacher certification is the way to go. Just make sure the college or university you choose has a regional accreditation and you will be fine.
Typically a masters is the minimum degree to teach at a college or university, with a PhD preferred. However, I have seen individuals with a bachelors teaching the lab portions in the biology and chemistry areas at a community college.Typically a masters is the minimum degree to teach at a college or university, with a PhD preferred.

You do not need an associates degree to get a bachelors, one is just more extensive than the other. If I were you, I would go straight for the bachelors.
In Texas you have to have a bachelors degree (4 year college degree) in order to become a Game Warden. I imagine it's about the same every where else.
Ryan Buell just got a bachelors degree in May 2006.
You don't need a degree. You should just major in art, writing, and computer science in college. You don't need a license either.
The four year degree is a bachelors degree. It could be a Bachelors of Arts (BA), or Bachelors of Science (BS) degree depending on the program of study, and which focus the department offering the degree has. If its an arts degree, the scope will be broader to include a well rounded education in a variety of disciplines to include intellectual skills like critical thinking, problem solving, reasoning and judgment skills, that in essence will compliment the specific program of study whether in business, communications, psychology etc. If the degree is in the sciences it will have a more narrow focus, in terms of research, math, science, and practical skills. A bachelors can be either an arts or science. In other words, the degree for a business major can either be a BA or a BS. It just depends on the institution and the department within the institution on how they label the degree. The same goes for many other disciplines.
Not usually. Usually a master's is required just to teach at the high school level. There are some exceptions to this rule.... but not many. College science professors usually always have a Ph.D. This can be different for other fields like business, where a Ph.D is not always necessary to teach at the college level.
